The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Thank you for posting this, 37RAGTOPMAN.

Do you know if Standard is marketing a condenser to fit the 1936 Ford distributor?

37rag,
These have been available for decades. NAPA has had them at least since the 1970's.
In the recent past, say the past few years or so, the quality is "hit or miss", no pun intended.
Either ya get a good one or you don't.

Thanks for your input, Mike.

The reason I asked specifically about the Standard brand of condenser is exactly what you said ............ problems previously experienced with other new condensers (not just NAPA).

So .......... does anyone know if Standard is now selling a condenser for the 1936-style distributor? I think that 1934 and 1935 are the same (i.e. 40B).

I heard you have to solder the strap from a original cond to the NAPA IH 200 plus file a flat spot on the brass post to make it fit,and do not know what you have to do to make the IH 200 work
and not really a fan of NAPA, esp anything electrical, except the special fan belt, that is ok,
I rented a shop under a NAPA auto parts, and learned to stay away from certain parts,
hope this helps, 37 Ragtopman
like any new part some will work and there is always a chance of a defective part,

I think they make a 32 36 condensors, you will have to check with your Standard parts dealer,
I got mine on E-BAY,
The FD 64 is for 37 -41, So MAYBE FD 63 is for 32-36 ? or similar part numbers,
33-36 a flat top coil and then they has a domed coil with took 2 different condensors,
just wanted to pass the information on for fellow V8 MEMBERS,
hope this helps, 37Ragtopman, Maine

also STANDARD PARTS #S FD 6770 for the ignition points,
